- The "Communication Competence" model appears in each heading and all chapter summaries are explicitly tied to this approach

- More than 500 new references added

- Rigorously updated social media and technology examples

- "Focus on Controversy" boxes, "Developing Communication Competence" self-assessment exercises, "Film School" features, and photo captions updated to include more quizzes and critical-thinking probes
